The document discusses a cluster analysis of industrial sectors within Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) areas in the UK. It finds that advanced manufacturing remains concentrated in traditional areas, while knowledge-intensive and professional services skew towards southern LEPs. Few changes were observed between 2008-2012. It also describes a new LEP Growth Dashboard being developed jointly by the Enterprise Research Centre and GrowthAccelerator to provide LEPs with metrics on business growth, start-up survival rates, and barriers to growth reported by firms in those areas.
This document provides an overview and results of cluster analysis conducted by the Enterprise Research Centre (ERC) on industrial clusters within Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) areas in the UK. It finds the strongest clusters exist in advanced manufacturing, such as aerospace, automotive, agri-tech and life sciences. Knowledge intensive services show less geographical concentration. Enabling sectors like nuclear are concentrated in coastal LEP areas. The analysis aims to help LEPs understand their comparative economic advantages and support for sectors in the UK's Industrial Strategy.

Jacob Ng'ang'a: Industrialization in Kenya: What Went Wrong and Why?UNU-WIDER
Industrialization in Kenya has been less than desirable despite interventions to stimulate industry. Three major policy regimes - Import Substitution (IS), Market Liberalization (ML), and Export Promotion (EP) - were implemented with mixed results. IS led to rapid growth but also inefficiencies. ML exposed local industry to competition but it struggled. EP increased exports but implementation was opportunistic. The manufacturing sector remains small, dominated by food and beverages. Productivity is highest in food but overall Kenya has yet to develop a strong, diversified industrial base.

TCI 2014 Visualisation of Linkages in Networked Clusters: Analysis of the ICT...TCI Network
This document analyzes linkages in the ICT cluster ecosystem in Cork, Ireland using a methodology called V-LINC. It finds that while Cork ICT firms compete internationally, there are supportive local industry associations, government agencies, and research institutions. However, it also finds that local peer-to-peer linkages and training opportunities are limited. The document recommends developing a cluster organization, adapting degree programs to focus more on ICT skills, and increasing supports for industry-academia R&D partnerships to strengthen collaboration in the Cork ICT cluster.
This document summarizes several presentations from the ERC Research Showcase on February 22nd 2024.
The first presentation identified a small group of UK SMEs called "Productivity Heroes" that have significantly increased turnover, jobs, and productivity at the same time between 2021-2022. The next steps are to track their long-term performance and understand the drivers of their productivity gains through qualitative research.
The second presentation discussed research on UK firms' export decisions. It found customer demand is important at all stages of exporting. Exporting firms make multiple decisions over time to first enter markets, exit and re-enter, and persist in exporting. Support should target firms at different points in their export journey.
The document outlines several projects and partnerships that the ERC will be involved in through 2024. These include projects on export decisions and mindsets, investment mindsets in the UK, mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, entrepreneurship focusing on ethnic minorities, innovation and infrastructure for commercialization in agriculture. The ERC can also help with rapid or systematic literature reviews, collaborative primary research, survey conduct, policy development, capacity building, and convening expert groups.

This document provides a summary of over a decade of research from the Enterprise Research Centre on trends affecting small businesses in the UK. It finds that while the number of small businesses has grown, pressures have increased as well, requiring resilience. Research shows business growth depends on many factors like innovation, finance access, exporting, and management practices. However, many small firms face barriers in these areas. The document reviews research on topics that influence small business growth and productivity such as finance, business support, innovation, and leadership.
This document summarizes research on how UK firms make export decisions. It finds that:
- Customer demand plays a key role in firms' exporting decisions at various stages, though its importance may change over time.
- Exporting decisions are not static - firms change how and why they export as they persist, and new/intermittent exporters may do the same if they continue exporting.
- Multiple internal and external stakeholders, like business connections, influence export decision-making. Support targeted at different firms' export stages could encourage more exporting.
The document discusses research into small businesses in the UK called "Productivity Heroes" - defined as SMEs aged 3+ years that are growing both revenues and headcount, with revenues increasing at a faster rate. Out of over 1 million SMEs in 2021-22, around 8% or 36,298 firms qualified as Productivity Heroes, growing revenue by 196% on average while increasing jobs by 29%. The document recommends focusing policy support on these firms to better understand how to address the UK's productivity problem and long tail of unproductive small businesses. It also plans to track the performance of Productivity Heroes over time and understand the drivers of their productivity gains through future research.
Workplace mental health in England, Ireland and Sweden – a comparative study ...enterpriseresearchcentre
This document summarizes findings from a comparative study of workplace mental health in England, Ireland, and Sweden. It finds significant country-level differences in patterns of mental health-related sickness absence, presenteeism, engagement in mental health initiatives, and adoption of hybrid working models. Swedish firms reported lower impacts of mental health issues on operations despite higher absence rates. They were also more likely to invest in strategic initiatives than training. The implications discussed include how employers can best manage psychological detachment with remote working and address presenteeism issues that may arise.
Rural SMEs, environmental action, and perceived opportunities - Kevin Moleenterpriseresearchcentre
- Rural small businesses are more likely than urban ones to consider the environment when making decisions and take steps to reduce their environmental impact. However, very few measure their greenhouse gas emissions.
- Most rural businesses see opportunities around health/well-being and environmental/green products and services, though perceive constraints like cost and lack of expertise.
- Those seeing themselves well-placed to capitalize on opportunities are more likely to invest in areas like the environment, new products, and training, but challenges around housing, transport and broadband remain.
Firms’ response to climate change and digital technologies – insights from an...enterpriseresearchcentre
This study aims to explore the relationships between digital technologies, climate adaptation and mitigation efforts, and firm productivity using survey data from over 25,000 firms across Europe and the US. The results show that more digitally advanced firms are more likely to undertake both climate adaptation and mitigation simultaneously, and do so at a higher intensity. However, climate adaptation efforts remain low overall. The relationships between digital technologies and climate responses are also shaped by firms' perceptions of climate change impacts and transition risks/opportunities. The findings provide evidence that digital technologies can help firms better recognize needs and opportunities for climate action and intensify their engagement in adaptation and mitigation.
This document summarizes the key points from an ERC Research Showcase event. It discusses several areas of current research being highlighted, including trade, climate change and digital technologies, rural SMEs and environmental action, and workplace mental health. Specifically, it outlines a study on firms' responses to climate change and digital technologies that aims to explore the relationships between the digital and net-zero transitions and their implications for firm productivity through an international comparative analysis. The study involves examining underlying conditions and enablers that influence the twin transition and productivity.

This document summarizes a study examining the causal effect of strategic human resource management systems on firm innovation in the UK. The study uses data from the UK Innovation Survey merged with the UK Employer Skills Survey from 2012-2019. Logit estimations and marginal effects are used to analyze the impact of human capital enhancing, motivation enabling, and opportunity enabling HR systems on product, process, and organization innovation. The results suggest HR systems can positively impact innovation, though the effects are contingent on firm characteristics like industry and size. Manufacturing firms see benefits for organization innovation, while services firms see some benefits. Small firms benefit for process and organization innovation. The study contributes to limited research on how HR impacts innovation.

1. The document reviews literature on firm-level decisions regarding productivity-enhancing investments. It finds heterogeneity in how different firm characteristics, contexts, markets, and structures influence investment decisions.
2. Investment decisions are contextual, influenced by external factors, the type of investment, financial constraints, investment objectives, and past investment history, both individually and combined.
3. Studies show different effects on tangible versus intangible investments, and potential combinations of the two. However, few examine who specifically makes investment decisions and what influences them.
4. Relatively little literature indicates that improving productivity is firms' primary investment goal.
This document summarizes key findings from the Longitudinal Small Business Survey (LSBS) for 2022. It provides data on various metrics like employment levels, turnover, profitability, innovation, exporting, access to finance, and obstacles faced by small businesses over multiple years. It shows trends like a decline in employment increases during the pandemic, followed by recovery. Innovation rates fell in 2020 but have since recovered. Exporting levels declined slightly each year. Risk appetite for external finance has decreased somewhat. Growth expectations and actual growth have improved since 2021. Training and innovation are consistently linked to better outcomes, while evidence is less clear for other activities.

10. Industrial Sectors Analysis
• Witty Review sought to examine ways in which universities
can support economic growth working in conjunction with
organisations such as Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs).
• Two main hypotheses:
– strongest basis for regional economic growth is based on a
comprehensive understanding of a locality’s comparative
economic advantage;
– much of the UK’s comparative economic advantage could be
derived from its universities and research in fields relevant to
the Industrial Strategy sectors and technologies.
11. Key Results – Advanced
Manufacturing
Aerospace
– Little change between 2008 and 2012; employment concentrated in
Lancashire; Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire & West of
England LEPs(LQ 3+)
Automotive
– Concentrated mainly in the midlands (Coventry and Warwickshire,
Birmingham and Solihull), concentration in these areas increased by 2012 (LQ
4+)
Agri-tech
– Concentrated in LEPs situated around the coast of England, The Marches, New
Anglia and Greater Lincolnshire – the latter giving way to the former as most
concentrated by 2012 (LQ 3+)
Life Sciences
– Notable change between 2008-2012; in 2008 Hertfordshire had the highest
concentration (LQ 3-4), by 2012 Humber, Oxfordshire, Swindon and Wiltshire
LEPs had all joined it as the most concentrated
12. Key Results – Knowledge
Intensive Traded Services
Professional and Business Services
– Not particularly concentrated in any LEP, those in the South of England
higher than average, by 2012 the Midlands also higher than average
(LQs 1-2)
Information Economy
– Concentrated within a few LEPS, mainly in the South (Thames Valley
Berkshire, Enterprise M3). In 2008 Cheshire and Warrington was the
only Northern LEP with a higher than average concentration (LQ 1-2),
by 2012 this was below average
Education
– Not particularly concentrated in any LEP, no change between 2008 and
2012
13. Key Results – Enabling
Sectors
Nuclear
– Concentrated within a few mainly coastal LEPs (heaviest in Cumbria,
Derbyshire & Nottinghamshire LQ 4+). By 2012 Tees Valley had dropped
below average (previously LQ 3-4), Lancashire and Gloucestershire had
increased.
Offshore Wind
– LQs unavailable but industry largely concentrated around North East,
North West and Eastern coasts
Oil and Gas
– Concentrated within 3 LEPs: Humber (LQ 4+), Cheshire and Warrington (LQ
3-4) and Greater Lincolnshire (LQ 2-3). By 2012 same 3 but LQs all now 2-3
Construction
– No particularly heavy concentrations, although central England LEPs below
average. By 2012 similar pattern although several northern LEPs also
below average
14. UK Industrial Sectors -
Summary
• Overall, few changes between 2008-2012
• Increase in Life Sciences amongst Oxfordshire, Swindon and
Wiltshire and Humber LEPs
• Majority of industry concentrated largely where it has been
historically:
– Heavy advanced manufacturing concentrated in the
midlands area
– Information and Professional Services skewed towards
Southern areas
– Enabling sectors situated in Northern coastal areas
16. What is it?
• Its purpose is to provide each LEP with a set of simple metrics
on the growth of existing firms and start-ups in the LEP area.
• Set alongside the key barriers to growth flagged by businesses
who are seeking to grow and have become a participant in the
GrowthAccelerator programme.
• The Dashboard, based primarily on ONS data, can be used as
a source of evidence to inform discussions on priorities in
business support and includes easily understood metrics
which can be readily updated on an annual basis.
17. Metrics
• Proportion of fast-growing firms (jobs) in the
business population (2009-12)
• Net job creation ratios for 2011-12
• 3-year survival rates of start-ups (2009-12)
• Proportion of surviving start-ups that reach £1m T/O
(2009-12_
• Proportion of existing £1-2m T/O businesses which
grow to £3m T/O (2009-12)
25. Summary
• Clusters: connecting cluster analysis to policy – the
art of the possible? - there is no simple 'read-
through' from a ‘cluster’ identified by high LQs to a
strategy.
• LEP Dashboard: a complex LEP geography which
provides a challenge to some of the preconceptions
held about the ‘hotspots’ of growth across England
while confirming others.
26. Discussion
• Building a robust evidence base for effective
policy design – how can ERC assist
• Connecting metrics to LEP strategy and policy
initiatives?
• What other metrics would be useful?
